There should be a way to download embedded games, to play offline with ScummVM, from pages where the authors unilaterally decided not to make them available. Seems to be a growing trend.

Well, since I did say "there should be a way", I appreciate the reply. Now I know there's a way.
I still don't think it's a good idea for the designers not to make an offline version available, and I'm certainly not going to download an application exclusively for the privilege...
...but you addressed exactly what I said, and provided me with a possible solution. Much obliged.
I guess, as the developer of this game, I'll chime in here. I believe all of my other games are available for download. There are two reasons this one isn't:
1. The game downloadable game I made right before this one was flagged as "suspicious" by itch.io and quarantined for a week, which ruined my game launch. Online games don't get quarantied, I think, and I didn't want to deal with the stress of that again.
2. The game was made in a rush for a game jam, and at the time was extremely buggy. It still is buggy. And it's easier to bug fix online games on my end than to upload multiple new versions, especially a Mac version.
Thank you for playing!
